Fred Gauthier, Geo. Foss and Hull
Page have recently become the owners
of very fine comets. These additions
greatly increases the number of that
j kind of instruments in this village
in fact we do not know of another
town of our size in the state that
comes up to this in the number of
comets.
Now is the time to get rid of the
trade dollar, if you have any. The
new law provides that for period
of six months after the passage of the
act the trade dollar, if not defaced,
mutilated or stamped, shall be re-
ceived at the Office of the treasurer or
any assistant treasurer of the United
States in exchange for like amount,
dollar for dollar, of standard silver or
subsidiary coins Of the United States.
MesSrs. Editors Il see by Mr..
MaXfield's figures, in his statement in
your last issue, that the Town can
pay with the 145 cents on the dollar
of the Grand List, one years ex-
penses, also the $1,000 note due Nov.
LIST, 1887, and have left in the treas
ury balance of 81, 1858. Now let me
figure with Mr.. MaXfield a little.
First, the highway expenses are, one
year with another, $500 per year.
This he has not figured in. Second,
there is our State tax of u cents on
the dollar, which will be about $3.50,
put these two items together and you
have $3.50. Take this amount from
Mr.. Maxfeld's S1S63. left in the
treasury, and it will make his balance
very small. The real fact is, that the
leaving out of the note was a clear
mistake, both with the Selectmen and |
the Treasurer, and no blame rests on
them worthy of special remark. This
error, with one or two others, makes |
the Towns Indebtedness a little more |
than $1,000 more than it was shown to
be in the Selectmen's report. This
being a matter that can be taken care
of at our next March meeting, no
uneasiness should be felt about it.
